Abstract

A lens-fitted photo film unit includes an opaque main body (21) pre-loaded with photo film (26). An opaque rear cover (23) covers a rear of the main body. A front cover (45,51,55,61,65,90) covers a front of the main body. A viewfinder eyepiece opening (18) is formed through the rear cover. A viewfinder objective opening (14,66) is formed in the front cover, combined with the viewfinder eyepiece opening, and adapted to observation of a photographic field. The front cover is produced from transparent material. A field frame member (46,52,56,63,80) is disposed on an edge of the viewfinder objective opening, visible through the viewfinder eyepiece opening, for indicating a photographable region in the photographic field.
